Remember a small airport called Stapelton. Downtown Denver. So pressed for space. It's a tiny airport, they only had two runways and gate space is very tight and demanding overthere.....
And two airlines were hubbed there (United and Continental). Continetal moved out. DIA was built (one of the nicest airports in the country). And Frontier moved in. And how are they going?? GREAT!
San Diego is HUGE. It is the best vacation spot on the west coast (and that's saying a lot, being you have all of Socal, Santa Barbara, Monterey, San Francisco, Napa, Tahoe, Truckee........). It is a huge city. And people who live there have a lot more $$$$$ than St. Louis.
You don't get it man. Denver was a much different situation I suggest you do some research and get your facts straight about how difficult it is to get a big airport in San Diego, and one rwy is a lot different than two rwys man. The fact that you think San Diego is the best vacation spot in the west coast is entirely an opinion, I think San Diego is overcrowded, over rated, and tiresome, there's plenty of better smaller getaways i think in Cali. And wow people have more money there than they do in St. Louis big fn deal, it still changes nothing in the fact that KSAN cannot support a hub with it's size and the enormous amount of traffic flying along Southern Cali. Back to Denver, great DIA came around, big and nice airport, modernized, but it's almost an inconvenience for many people because it's so freakin far from the city itself. Could you imagine building a new San Diego airport that far away from the city. Think about how bad traffic is there and it would be hell for many folks trying to get home. You need to think about the big picture before you go mouthing off and comparing something completely different, Denver is a totally different situation than San Diego, sorry man a hub in KSAN is not going to happen.
No, you are stupid, because I would have to pay money to fly OAK-LAS, where as SFO-PSP-LAS is FREE!!! Dumb@$$.
Ok if I remember correctly you said SFO-LAX-DEN-PSP-LAS that you had on your original post and you never said it was FREE regardless, most people aren't willing to fly around all day backtracking just to get to Vegas from the Bay area I don't know how you got free airfare but good for you, i hoped you enjoyed sitting in airports all day.
